Me trying to balance out my life🙄 .
Been working on some important stabilizer muscles and focusing on balance that are actually used in our every day lives. After integrating real life movements in exercise I've noticed a big change in the way I function in my daily routines. .
Anyway this is me trying to hold a handstand, it’s gettin better🤔 how long can you hold a hand stand for?!

🔥What you didn't know about the incline press🔥

Follow @dancudes !! -
The incline press is easily my favourite weight training pushing movement. Not only is it incredibly effective at building a solid chest, triceps, and anterior deltoids (front of the shoulder), it is a bit safer than a traditional bench press. That isn't to say don't bench, but incline pressing puts less strain on the shoulder joint and allows you to gain similar benefits. Changing how much of an incline the bench is at will target different parts of the upper body such as your anterior delts, which also means it is a versatile exercise. The more the incline, the more the upper chest and shoulders will be worked and the less the incline the more mid chest is going to be worked. I like to do 4 sets of an ascending pyramid ranging from 4 to 10 reps and have found it to be incredibly effective and transferable to my favourite pushing exercises in dips and pushups.

TODAY AT 6:00pm
The Hilton in VOC! (Sedona Area)
This is for you if: .
👊You are light-hearted and FUN! (Or you’re open to being light-hearted and fun!)
. 👊You’re open to whatever we hand you for the workout. (Modifications ALWAYS available)
. 👊You want to sweat and you understand the amazing-ness that comes with working hard to achieve your goals!
. 👊You’re sassy.
. 👊You’re between the ages of 10 and 100
.
This is NOT for you if: .
☝️You come up with excuses not to come like, “it looks too hard, I probably can’t do a lot of it, it’s too cold out, it’s too hot out...” (*we do go indoors if it’s raining though!)
Oh- and “it’s cocktail hour”- didn’t even know that’s a thing still...
. ☝️You don’t like loud fun music.
. ☝️You even THINK my sweet dance moves will turn you off! 🤷🏽‍♀️
.
If this is not your thing, it’s not your thing! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ .
A few years ago, I didn’t even know how to use dumbbells let alone workout at a gym or in a group.
.
I was super-intimidated. But my goals were more powerful than my fears. .
So what is my main inspiration for these classes? To show others how powerful they truly are, and that goals don’t have to be achieved through ultimate seriousness. .
If you’re new or just wanna change it up, THIS IS FOR YOU! .
WE GOT YOUR BACK!

🦍 DAY 95 OF OPERATION CITIZEN GAIN 🦍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Snatch Grip Deficit Deadlift
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5 x 5 on 120
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My favourite deadlift variation at the moment 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was my 5th set so fatigue had well and truly set in 😂🙈 so form slacked a bit compared to the first few sets which I felt I nailed, getting myself nice and low 👌🏼 however rep 4 of this one was borderline an SLDL 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those of you who don’t know, here’s a few great reasons to do these:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Upper back and rear Delt development - the wider grip forces more back engagement.
2. Posterior chain development - because of the deficit (& the snatch grip) create more Hamstring and hip involvement compared to conventional deadlifts.
3. Great assistance exercise for conventional deadlifts - because it forces you to start lower.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Eating is FUN!❗️ It‘s time to wake up guys and to leave behind all the myths and lies you have been told or have been telling yourself. .
Especially as women we hold lots of insecurities when it comes to food. Since being a teenager, I have been struggling with food. Always on a diet and always feeling bad when eating too much chocolate or pizza. Yes, these foods are not the healthiest but they are fun and taste good. No, you don‘t have to feel guilty or have to fear to gain weight when you indulge in them every now and then (I‘m more saying this to myself then to you probably 🤣). .
Life and living healthy should be fun and joyful and not restrictive or about counting calories. I’m sick and tired about trainers or gym marketing programms that constantly make you feel bad about yourself. Like achieve your beach body in 30 days. What does this even mean? What is a beach body and why don‘t I already own one? .
We live in 2019, it‘s time to be proud of ourselves. To live healthy without deprivation and without constantly criticising ourselves. So NO, I will never tell you to change your body, I will just tell you to have FUN and to LISTEN to your body! #proudtobeme#healthylife#healththursday

Let’s talk balance. Not just because I’m a Libra 😂 lol but in general everything requires balance.
Too much of something can be draining and too much of nothing can be exhausting. Learning to live in the present, meditating and reflecting on my day has helped me find peace and joy when things are going wrong.
Working hard is important but so is making time to take care of your body and also your mind.
The mind is like the body you need to exercise healthy habits, challenge your decisions and put out positive thoughts in order to feel whole.
How do you find balance?
